notable bearer of the name was MacBeth (1005 - 1057) who was King of

first Scottish king whose name appears in |
ecclesiastical
records as a benefactor of the Church.

was used as the basis of one of William Shakespeare's greatest dramas
and he is generally remembered as a weak and irresolute man, although
